U.S. WEATHER AT 7 A.

M. TODAY Highest last 24 hours, night and precipitation: lowest last Gains to Two Points Top Slow Morning By Associated Press NEW YORK After plodding through the slowest four hours in a month, the stock market put on a burst of speed in the closing lap of today's session and leaders shot up fractions to two points, with a few wider swings in evidence. The list advanced at the start but met sufficient profit-selling to cut top marks in half shortly after the opening. Activity slowed from then on, with little pickup in prices, until the closing period when buyers gave steels, motors and assorted favorites a fast whirl. The ticker tape, for a brief period, was behind floor dealings.

Even with the expansion of vol ume at the finish, transfers failed to reach one million shares. The proceedings virtually came to a standstill shortly after noon when Wall Street's thousands stopped everything to cheer the triumphal parade of flyer Howard Hughes and his world-circling mates through the heart of the financial sector. The news generally favored re covery forces, with the exception of second-quarter earnings statements which, while not al together disappointing in view of the severe slump in business in those months, still made poor reading. Among encouraging items were further optimistic forecasts by Washington authorities and signs here and there, that the govern mem pump priming program is getting under way with a resul tant pickup in several lines of trade. Bonds and commodities were ir regular and foreign securities markets were without rising vigor.

fourth circuit court of appeals held yesterday that the National Labor Relations board was without power to order reinstatement of former employes "who have ob tained regular and substantially equivalent employment else where." An accompanying decree remanded the case of the Moores-ville Cotton mills of North Caro lina to the NLRB with instruction to determine whether jobs obtained elsewhere by four former employes were "substantially equivalent" to those previously held at the mills. The case was carried to the circuit court of appeals after the NLRB ordered the company to desist from alleged unfair labor practises and offer reinstatement to workers held by the board to have lost their jobs because of union activity. The court held that "giving the word employe the significance which Congress has said it shall have where used in the act, it would seem to be manifest that the power conferred upon the board to order an offending employer to reinstate employes does not include former workmen who have obtained regular and substantially equivalent employment elsewhere."

(A.nnn for Year Onoratinc costs of the City Public hnsnital for the last fiscal year showed a drop of $6,000 from the previous year, according to tne annual audit report filed with City Clerk Jerome Heger today by Gauger and Diehl, accountants. Thp decrease, according to the renort. was due entirely to the drop in the number of contagion the year.

ExDenditures during the year inst nassed totaled $14,541.95 com pared with $21,012.91 paid out in the 1936-37 period. The averaee cost per patient per day in the 1936-37 year was $5.27 and the cost mounted to $8.07 per day last year because the number of patients was reduced.
